Only a few meters separated the surviving suspect in the terror attack at the Boston Marathon from those who were injured in the twin blasts, and they are all being treated by an Israeli. Professor Kevin (Ilan) Tabb (49) is the director of Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, where suspected terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being treated. Twenty-four people who were injured in the attack were also admitted to the hospital, among them 16 who are in serious condition.

Speaking to Ynet, Tabb told Ynet that Tsarnaev was in stable condition and suffered from wounds to his throat. The hospital director said that even if the suspect survives, he may never be able to speak again.

"Unfortunately, I have had a lot of experience with these types of injuries after years of treating people injured in terror attacks in Israel," said the professor, who is a member of the board of Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem, where he studied medicine and completed his residency.

"We have a few Israeli doctors in the emergency room, and the director of the ER is also Israeli. But most of the physicians at the hospital are not Israeli, and they functioned exceptionally well," Tabb added.

He told Ynet that the Boston Marathon attack resulted in "numerous leg injuries from the blasts, and there were many amputations as well. In Israel we are used to this and here they are not, but the hospital was prepared. Most of those who were seriously injured in the attack were sent to the three main trauma centers in Boston, including ours.

"It was very similar to what I was used to in Israel in that we had to admit many injured people in a short period of time," Professor Tabb said. "The fact that we are treating both the victims and the suspected terrorist also reminds me of similar situations in Israel. In Israel we had an injured soldier and a terrorist lying on adjacent beds. When an injured person is admitted to the ER, the doctor or nurse treats him without asking questions."

Relatives of some of the people who were injured in the terror attack in Boston criticized the decision to treat Tsarnaev in the same hospital as their loved ones.

"I don't understand why they would bring him where my son is," said Liz Norden, who is keeping vigil at her son Paul's bedside in the intensive care unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Norden told NBC she was "angry" when Tsarnaev was brought to the hospital Friday night, wounded from a gun-battle with police. The improvement in Paul's condition had calmed her fury.

"As long as my son is alive...," she said. "And today he opened his eyes."

Paul and his older brother J.P. both lost a leg. "I can't even tell you how devastating it's been," Norden said. "Those two (the bombers) shattered my world."

How nice of him... couldn't he just tell his people to stop torturing, displacing and killing innocents?

As far as the Professor Doctor is concerned, "his people" are his staff at the hospital, and they are busy healing people's injuries, regardless of their origins or politics or crimes.

As far as "displacing and killing innocents" goes, Jordanians can't point to ten Jews left in their country and publicly revere the man who killed little Jewish girls out on a school trip, while Israel remains 20%+ Arab and all its citizens have rights and access to courts.

No sense in letting a donkey think he's a man, is there?

What about the millions of innocents your rootless people displaced? What about tens of thousands of innocents your terrorests killed? What about tens of thousands of innocent prisoners who are being tortured? What about stealing a whole country from their people? Zionists are pathological liars.

He doesn't recognize those people bro. In the US and Israel it's simply no occupation no theft, just Jews 'settling' in their God given promised land and we arabs are living in a dream full of unicorns. Don't worry. Solomon JackShit's got everything under control. LOL.

A zionist monkey talking about saving humans. Anyway these israelis really have brains and are masters in playing the victim card. He may have just brainwashed couple of ignorant americans.

He's a Desi Zionist. LOL.

Actually most Indians are pro-zionist. They are brothers in genocide.

I still don't want to generalize all of them. Because I actually have seen anti Zionist Indians here. Especially those who live in the US realize what it's doing to our country.

That speaks more of the Jewish mentality then it does of Jordanians. It seems that it is very easy for Jews to abandon their countries when the going gets tough and move somewhere they deem to be better. No sense of patriotism or working hard for the country they have lived in for centuries/millennia.

Of course this can't be applied to all Jews but seems to be a general trend.

Have you seen the amount of Indians with Israeli flags on their profiles? Astonishing.

Majority Indians are inherent islamophobes . I think U would get to realize that soon. The Indians U are talking about may be a puny minority and also there are muslim Indians as well.

There are a large number of Indian professionals and other Indian Jew migrants living in Israel.I know some of them personally.Its not very surprising.

Majority Indians are inherent islamophobes . I think U would get to realize that soon. The Indians U are talking about may be a puny minority and also there are muslim Indians as well.

Says the resident Indophobe.How Ironic.In your perspective all non Muslims and even the non practising Muslims are Islamophobes.So much paranoia will give some anxiety disorder.

Note that unlike the Jordanian killer, Israeli society so overwhelmingly rejected Goldstein that it was difficult for him to get a burial, like the dead Pakistani terrorist in Mumbai who was refused one by the Muslim community there.

Debunked:

Do you think the IDF killed people to get body organs?

"I don't think soldiers behaved like that. I don't think they killed in order to gather organs. The truth is that they kill them without a trial and their bodies are taken to Abu Kabir. We don't know whether they take out the organs. That has still to be further investigated. No one opened up the bodies after they were returned and only one man knows the truth, Prof. Yehuda Hiss, the director of the forensic institute.

So why did you publish baseless accusations?

"I think the article led to good things and bad things, but now it is on the table. Israeli journalists must investigate. You have done good things in the past. Haaretz gives better coverage of the conflict than the Swedish papers, so go on investigating this. There are a lot of question marks."

What about the millions of innocents your rootless people displaced?

Did you care when these were Jews or Hindus?

What about tens of thousands of innocents your terrorests killed?

What about the fact these things didn't happen but are invented and waved around for ideological convenience?

What about stealing a whole country from their people?

That is what Arabs want to do: no matter how many times Jews pay for the land, no matter how much charity is shown to Arabs, they still avow that they are out to displace and kill the Jews. Sick people!

Zionists are pathological liars.

You've seen that I've been able to show, repeatedly, that I've been able to show that anti-zionists are liars. A "pathological liar" is usually someone suffering from histrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. Palestinian Arabs are told by their fellows that they are a great people with a great history and this narrative is enforced at gunpoint. Israel, by contrast, has freedom of debate, even on the existence of the Jewish State and Zionism itself.

That speaks more of the Jewish mentality then it does of Jordanians. It seems that it is very easy for Jews to abandon their countries when the going gets tough and move somewhere they deem to be better.

After Transjordan was created it was "leave or die", SV. The Jordanians were actually polite about it - often allowing Jews to depart peacefully - while the other Arabs were more intent on murder. However, it was still robbery, as the Jews left without compensation - quite unlike the Arabs in Palestine whose lands were either purchased by Jews or else abandoned as part of their revolt against the nascent Jewish State.

No sense of patriotism or working hard for the country they have lived in for centuries/millennia.

So the Jews of Iraq and Egypt, for example, who were expelled because they were accused of "lacking patriotism" or simply because they were Jews, but you castigate them now - after the fact - for the fact they obeyed their non-Jewish neighbors and government rather than oppose them out of "patriotism"?

Of course this can't be applied to all Jews but seems to be a general trend.

Only because you're engaged in deception - of yourself first of all, perhaps.

It is a common trend throughout the world, not just in Arab lands. In Iran for example Jewish population fell from 100,000 to now 25,000 (roughly) as many Jews decided to move to US and Israel. Now many Persian Jews are actually war-hawks against Iran.
